Strength of memory depends an emotion present at time it is coded.
Time stamped-remember when they happened.
Semantic memories:
Facts about general knowledge and is always being added to it.
Conscious-explicit-effort needed to recall particular fact.

Less personal and is not time stamped.
Procedural memories
